Forgot to mention: with stock ATI drivers (my PC has HD Radeon 3400), the GPU always stays above 60C even when resting, and CPU get some side heat from the GPU. But even on that configuration, the CPU is never going above 70C, because performance are less in 3D, so GPU always stay more or less the same. With fglrx driver, GPU always stay around 45~48C at rest, triggering the fan to throttle around the second-to-highest level, with high room temps.
